Hi there i'm new to bump and i'm 17 weeks today due 16th July
. I was just wondering how much weight everybody has put on I've gained 6.8 KGs I have a small figure and am just worried i'm going to end up huge if I keep gaining weight rapidly as I was told you should gain from 9 - 12 KGs all together and i'm almost there.

If you are really worried about it for health reasons, I would definitely bring it up with your doctor so they can let you know where you should be at and some healthy and safe ways to stay within the range that is best for your pre pregnancy bmi.
As I look at women who look like a bouncy ball is stuffed in there shirt..I long to look like that throughout my pregnancy...reality its not happening..my body does what it needs to produce a healthy baby..& thats whats needing to remind ourselves...
Each of us are built differently...eat well meaning healthy, & feel well.
I work out 3x/week and don't indulge too much on sweets. In fact, I am on a limited diet due to many food allergies. Yet I am still gaining A LOT. It's really depressing.
But I just keep telling myself I've had 2 successful full-term pregnancies, both my kids were 8+ pounds, no delivery/birth complications, etc. so it seems like my body just NEEDS the extra weight to sustain a healthy pregnancy.
I always get jealous of people who get just a belly bump and that's it. I'm already showing weight gain in my face, arms, etc. as well as my belly.
(Sorry, just a sensitive subject at the moment, worrying about a lecture from my OB on Wednesday.)

With my almost 10-month-old, I gained 32 lbs. (also started out overweight), and lost all 32 lbs. by the time he was 6 weeks old, and then stayed at my starting weight right up until I got pregnant again.
This time, so far I've only gained 2 lbs. and it's apparently all in my belly because my face has gotten thinner. I think my weight gain will be less this time because I'm chasing my little one everywhere.
